Had a great dinner tonight at Lazy Days South here in Marathon.

Went with a bit of a Cinco de Mayo theme to honor the defeat of the French by our Mexican neighbors 161 years ago today. Started off with a spicy margarita, while my wife had a Corona.

For food, we began with a couple of appetizers: raw oysters & conch ceviche. The ceviche was quite tasty, especially with some lemon & avocado. And the oysters were downright spectacular. They were enormous, too, which is always a treat!

For mains, my wife had linguini with clam sauce (she said mine is better ๐Ÿ˜). Keeping with my Mexican theme, I had hogfish with a tequila cream sauce. It was delicious. I've never had hogfish before & I would recommend it. Flaky white meat with a good flavor.

Finally, we enjoyed the sunset while we ate! It was a beautiful sight & really set the ambiance while we stuffed our faces. ๐Ÿ˜„ ImageImageImageImage

To round out the day in Key West, we stopped at the awesome Hemingway House museum, where the famed author spent quite a bit of his fascinating life.

The whole place was about as Key West as you could get, from the architecture, to the gardens, to the cats everywhere.

The interior of the house was awesome & chock full of Hemingway history. The tour guides are informative & quite humorous too.

Here are some shots of his wives, his bedroom, a very cool bathroom, & part of his library. The first editions on these shelves were a treasure trove of 19th & early 20th century literature. I would've killed to take these home!

A brief ๐Ÿงต:

The impact of the pandemic on mental health has been enormous. I've heard a lot about this from close family members who are psychotherapists. But as far as I can tell, the virus itself isn't the proximate cause.

1/
We humans are biologically programmed to thrive on social interactions & live in social situations. But in the past year, those basic human interactions & needs were newly coded as terrifying, dangerous, & even potentially deadly.

2/
Was that necessary for a brief time when we knew very little about this novel virus? Yes, it was. Has it been necessary for the entirety of the past 18 months? Absolutely not.

I'm reading The Russian Revolution by Richard Pipes for fun (yes, I'm a huge nerd) & it's remarkable at how many passages stood out as applicable or relevant to our modern day. This thread will contain a few standouts from my reading. ๐Ÿงต Image
This first one really made me stop & reread it: "The technique of translating specific complaints into general political demands would become a standard procedure for Russian liberals & radicals. It precluded compromises & partial reforms: nothing, it was alleged, could be...
"...improved as long as the existing system remained in place, which meant that revolution was a necessary precondition of any improvement whatsoever."

That quote, from pages 7-8, struck me like a bolt from the blue. It describes perfectly the radical American left today.
